Answer options
A: zipscn Correct answer
B: psl_dlp
C: gzscn_proc
D: dlpu
Correct Answer:
A. zipscn
Explanation

The Content Anti-Virus (cav) user-space process carries out archive and file scanning for the Anti-Virus and Threat Emulation blades on a Security Gateway; therefore it is the component responsible for Archive Scanning.

Why Incorrect

B avsd only manages Anti-Virus database updates and blade coordination; it does not perform inline archive inspection. C fwd is the logging/alerting daemon; it never examines file content. D cpd handles policy installation and SIC communication, not Anti-Virus scanning.
